Zelensky says Ukraine is scaling up long-range strikes, with clear plans for increased use of missiles and drones in the coming months. Precision attacks are growing in quality and scale, aimed at pushing Russia toward peace. He emphasized Ukraine’s goal is not war for its own sake, but a just end to it, unlike Putin.

ah, yes. The now indelible idea that Russia started a war for no reason. Which usurped the narrative that russia was trying to rebuild the ussr across all of europe. Which usurped the narrative that said russia wants to annex Crimea for its wealth. Which usurped the narrative that russia is an occult power derived from the Upside Down, etc etc.

Yes attack russia on behalf of the US, using US weapons and intelligence, for great peace! This is all about peace, bro.

I remember people raising "alarm" about it back to when we came on in 2022, so I can only expect it's been a thing longer than that. I know multiple times folks have tried to raise support for encrypted DMs, for example.

you'd be surprised how frequently something like this comes up as if it's a bad thing. it's good digital literacy to know where the boundaries are, and to understand at what point your systematic security stops and trust in your platform owners starts. i think it actually is something people probably think about more here because each of us is a lot fewer steps to the person who houses that information.

Fives acquired. The first bank I stopped at was “only if you have an account here” which I do not but First Horizon down the street was totally cool with it. Perhaps it will turn out that the Contraflow dealers room is as credit-ruled as most are these days but I dunno, I just have this intuition I’ll be getting a lot of cash and I’d rather be safe than sorry.

Went to 3 apartment complexes today. Every one I asked “how would you describe the population mix here?” really just to gauge if it was younger or older because I couldn’t really ask if they had a lot of niggers. I got the same answer from every one almost word for word which was “whoever can pass the application process” which makes me think they know people will ask and have been coached to give that answer.

I read a news story about a cat soon to be adopted out due to a new baby in the house -

- that ran around screaming one day, prompting the new father to yell "that cat is GONE as soon as we can get it outta here" -

- but the cat kept screaming weirdly.

The parents ran upstairs to protect their newborn

who had STOPPED BREATHING.

They revived the baby and kept the cat.

Looks like a CoD skin.

Thus towards the end of the eighteenth century a change came about which, if I were rewriting history, I should describe more fully and think of greater importance than the Crusades or the Wars of the Roses. The middle-class woman began to write. --- Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Log Garage test video
I'm taking a daily photo of the #LogGarage build #project. This is just a test to see if I can get the photos to all line up and make a video out of them. I started this project on 9/13/2025. I missed one or two days, but I'll do better.

I attached a camera mount to my carport so that the photos would all have the same angle/field of view/etc., but these "smartphone" #cameras still change the field of view and #focus and #exposure on their own - they think they are doing you a favor. It made it really hard to line up all the photos - even though they were taken from a stationary screwed-down camera mount. After searching around for a few days online, I found a program called #Hugin that lines them up #mathematically / #algorithmically and does a batch of photos. It's quite complicated, but the results speak for themselves. much better than I could do on my own.

Anyway, I'm anticipating this build to take at least a year, so that will produce a video about 365 seconds long - just over 5 minutes. Here's a 22 second clip (22 days) as a sneak peek for now - when the logs start getting stacked it'll look much cooler.

Πληροφορίες μάλιστα που έχουν διαρρεύσει θέλουν στο σχέδιο συγχώνευσης να περιλαμβάνονται και οι ΤΟΕΒ, καθώς το νερό της άρδευσης είναι πολύ περισσότερο από αυτό που καταναλώνεται για τις υδρευτικές ανάγκες.

Paternity DNA tests at birth should be mandatory in this country.
Why? 30% of men accused of fathering a child ARE NOT the father. How many are out there burdened with supporting a keeid that is not his?
THIRTY FKN PERCENT!

And there you have it, the #BestVidyaGirlContest quarterfinals are all wrapped up! For the first time ever (in no small part due to Samus being retired), every single match ended up being a banger, the most lopsided win happening during an all-Italian duel that was for a damn long while seemed completely deadlocked!

But anyway, our Semifinals are now decided, and this tournament truly is looking like anybody’s game at this point:

Malon VS Ashley "Leyley" Graves

Pyra VS Fio Germi

You could make a strong case for any one of these 4 girls going all the way, there’s no Samus Aran 2.0 here, each contestant has tremendous feats of strength to her name, but has also shown real vulnerability at certain points. It will be an explosive cocktail of fanboys, haters and gooners that will decide which vidya lady eventually comes out on top!

The first semifinal match kicks off on Sunday, the second one starts on Monday. Prepare your pictures, memes and propaganda, niggers!

"This week, our colleague Dr. Mark Bray has come under attack by Turning Point USA’s Rutgers chapter for his public scholarship. Their campaign to have Dr. Bray fired has resulted in doxxing and death threats that extended to his partner, Dr. Yesenia Barragan, also our colleague, forcing Drs. Barragan and Bray to leave their home for their safety and that of their children. Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union condemn this campaign and stand in solidarity with our valued colleagues."
